The 'community functioning' measure has been developed for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Performance Framework as an indicator of strength and resilience, and contrasts to the usual 'closing the gap' or 'deficits' approach taken when measuring how well Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are faring. This paper discusses this strengths-based approach and looks at the measure of 'community functioning' in more detail using data from the 2014?15 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey.
